Ridling Lane

As we were discussing Ridling Lane and Harolds Shop the other day I thought I'd show this photo today. Harolds, or Matts, depending on which generation you come from is the shop on the corner of Ridling Lane whilst George and Kathleen Bennetts newsagent shop is next door but one going down the hill (you can see the awning ). Sadly the paper shop is no longer there but the corner shop is still going strong.Deal Street is just past the parked car.

The site of Hiltons sweet shop on the opposite corner of Ridling Lane - The best penny tray in the world, now a house.

Harold Taylor's - crowded with sacks of potatoes and onions and wooden crates of "Cheshire Sterilised Milk" with crown caps. Thick mahogany topped counter.Emily Hilton - always neat and looked as if she should be running a tea shop.

Tom, Dave, Paul and I would like to say thank you to everyone for contributing to this blog in some small way - even if that means just reading it! It's been more of a success than we could ever have dreamt of and that's all down to you ! It was our intention to get Hyde "on the record" as it were and it seems to be heading in the right direction. We are very proud of Hyde and would like it's history to live on!
